Aotran's intimidation was still quite effective, because Qi Lang saw that although Ou Wu was still angry, he didn't come over to trouble him for a whole day. Of course, he probably had been in the infirmary for too long.

But Qi Lang didn't want to bother the military doctor Aiden just because of this small injury, and when he thought of the possibility of facing disdainful glances and strange words, he preferred to stay quietly like a lone wolf, licking his wounds with his tongue little by little.

However, the next morning, his loneliness was still harassed. The junior warrior named Gurf came uninvited, and he sneaked around the door of tent 31 for a long time, and after confirming that Ou Wu was not inside, he cleared his throat and accurately called out Qi Lang's name.

"Hi, hello, Qi Lang. Instead of wearing the corporal's usual burlap robes, Gulf dressed in a more casual outfit, with a short brown cloak and a pair of leggings, which looked very energetic, but it was supposed to be the clothes of his father, Orion Sr. Harry, for the cloak was shorter and the trousers were thinner.

"Hello, Corporal Gulf. Qi Lang's left eye was not swollen yet, and he could only turn to the side a little to recognize who the person in front of him was, "I thought you all went camping in the Black Forest......"

"Come on, that's my home. I'd rather stay in town for the holidays. Beads of sweat appeared on the tip of Gulf's freckled nose, and although his voice sounded relaxed, Qi Lang always felt that he was a little nervous.

"Okay......" Qi Lang wanted to nod slightly, but the swelling on his face didn't allow for such vigorous movement, "then...... You're coming for me?"

"Hey, yes, that's it. Gulf rubbed his hands against the sides of his pants, "I just ...... I just wanted to ask you how you got that arrow......"

Qi Lang felt that his swollen face must have turned dark purple: "If you are here to humiliate me, then congratulations, you have done it!" he turned around and was about to walk back into his tent.

"Hey, bro, I didn't mean that. Gulf grabbed Qi Lang, "I mean, we're all proud soldiers of the Luman Empire, aren't we? ”

The word "friend" was already very distant and unfamiliar to Qi Lang, and since he became a slave and was sold to the Luman Empire, that word did not know where to fly. At this moment, those two words came out of Gurve's thin lips, and Qi Lang really couldn't reflect what they meant for a while. But he still stopped: "Do you really think so?"

"It's true, I swear to God!" Gurf spread his hand and raised three fingers to the sky.

"You don't have to do that. Qi Lang tried to smile as sincerely as Gurf, but it was too difficult, "Okay, Gurf, I should ...... Shall I invite you to come in and sit down?"

"Don't be so polite, it's all the same in there, except for the tent of the first ten. Gulf didn't look so nervous anymore, and his shoulders were no longer tight, which allowed Qi Lang to see his original body more clearly: slightly stronger than himself, but still thin compared to the others, and not much bigger than himself, I really don't know how this ordinary young man could become a beginner warrior first.

"Let's go, brother, let's go and sit down by the Etrian River, there's no one there...... Uh, I mean it's quiet in there. Gulf cautiously suggested.

How could Qi Lang refuse, getting a brother in such an environment, for him, it was even more rare than shutting up Quill.

"It's amazing the first time I've seen an arrow bend sideways, man, how do you do that?" Gulf couldn't help but repeat the old story before he was halfway there, "even if old Harry - that is, my father, he was the best hunter here, of course, I suspect he was boasting - he wouldn't be able to do that." ”

"It was an ......accident," Qi Lang explained for a long time, but he could not make Gulf withdraw his suspicious eyes, so he could only run back to the tent and deliver the arrow he had not had time to smash in front of his eyes, "Look, it's it, it's right there at the tail." Something went wrong with my arrow, so it was ridiculously off. ”

But Gurf did not feel discouraged, and he did not retract the idea of being friends with Qi Lang, he still happily sat with Qi Lang on the broken stone by the river, while carefully looking at the arrow with a white tail, and told Qi Lang some ugly things about Felix and others, such as he knew that Felix had been staring at his cousin Joanna, the biological daughter of Major William, but Joanna actually did not dump him at all.

"I've heard that you're already a beginner warrior. Qi Lang waited for Gulf's mouth to rest, and finally asked his own question.

"Uh...... yes, that arrow, hehe. Gulf's face blushed and he gestured unnaturally with his hands, as if he were demonstrating archery.

Qi Lang was still waiting for Gulf's further explanation, only to find that he was looking at himself in embarrassment: "What's wrong?

Gulf let out a sigh and said, "It seems that you really don't know. Just now...... I thought you were making fun of me. ”

Qi Lang found that his newfound friend was always sloppy, making him feel like a fool, which made him feel a little unhappy: "Why do you think like that? You said it, we are friends!"

"Oh, you're angry? I'm sorry. Gulf was nervous again, "You probably don't care, but ...... Honestly, your arrow was much faster than mine. You know, they're suspicious of you......"

"Doubt me?" Qi Lang began to get serious, "What do you doubt me?"

"They...... Suspect that you are a martyr. Gulf's forehead was already sweating, "You know, the ones in the East...... Martyrs. ”

"What is a martyr?" Qi Lang became more and more puzzled.

"Don't worry, Qi Lang. Gulf's speech began to quicken, and it seemed that he really didn't want to cut off a new friend in just a few minutes, "I happened to hear the conversation between Ensign Maggie and Lieutenant Quill yesterday, and that's what they were talking about. ”

"How did you hear that?" Qi Lang didn't really want to ask, but while he was quickly searching for the new term "martyr" in his mind, he blurted out such a sentence completely out of subconscious.

Gulf's face was a little red at this time, and he stammered again: "Oh...... It doesn't matter. Quill thinks you're weird, who knows...... Anyway, that's what he said, he said that it is possible for a few of your swords to reach the skill of a mid-level warrior, oh...... But the strength is much worse. ”

Qi Lang knew that Gulf must have hidden a lot of ugly words, but he didn't care, he just wanted to know what was wrong with him, or what was special about him in the eyes of others, and he further asked, "But what does that have to do with martyrs? I'm sure I'm only hearing this word for the first time today." ”

"Oh, I know you're not. Because Quill himself later denied this," Gulf was a little overwhelmed, "because no martyr would be beaten to the ground...... Oh, I'm sorry. I mean, oh no, it's Quill who said that martyrs don't usually give their opponents a chance to get closer, they seem to be very good warriors. ”

Zi Lang would not have expected a good evaluation from Quiel, but judging from what Gulf had said, he, like Ensign Maggie and Lieutenant Dodim, thought that there was something unexpected about him as an Oriental boy. This is enough! Qi Lang felt that his injuries were worth it at this time.

But as for the middle-level warriors mentioned by Gurve, Qi Lang didn't think it was a joke or a misunderstanding. Among the more than 100 people, there are only two beginner-level warriors who have just started, and above that, there is also a threshold of low-level warriors, and he has become a middle-level warrior by shooting a crooked arrow and stabbing Owu's stupid bear a few times? Qi Lang was very self-aware, and he guessed that it was probably Quill preparing for his next act of insulting himself.

"But I have to remind you that Quill is said to have suffered a great loss at the hands of the martyrs a few years ago. Gulf saw that Qi Lang was stunned for a long time and didn't move, thinking that his stupid mouth had hurt this sensitive Oriental brother again, so he hurriedly dug out a secret from the bottom of his heart to share with Qi Lang. As he said this, he took the tip of the arrow and compared it to his face, as if it had been marked with many ugly scars.

"Thank you, Gurf. I think I'll pay attention. Qi Lang smiled laboriously. A conjecture popped up in his mind: yesterday was the first day of the Holy King's Sacrifice, and I heard that the non-commissioned officers usually cleaned themselves up before attending the dinner......

"You heard this by the window of Crouch's bathroom, right?" Qi Lang asked casually.

"Yes...... Uh, how do you know!?" Gulf's smile froze, and his curly brown hair seemed to stand on end.

"I noticed that you seem to like Ensign Maggie......" Qi Lang was almost unable to hold back.

"Hey, hey, hey, I've told you so many useful things, you're going to have to keep this one a secret for me!" gulf blushed and shouted, seeing that if Qi Lang didn't swear to God, he would immediately strangle him to death.

"Alright, alright, I promise not to tell anyone!" Qi Lang laughed happily, the sharp pain on his face could really kill him, "But did you really see her undressed?"
